An Essay on the Principle of Population, or a View of Its Past and Present Effects on Human Happiness (Classic Reprint): With an Inquiry Into Our ... Evils Which It Occasions (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book cogently argues that the human population is kept in check by natural limits, chiefly by the means of subsistence. The author begins by outlining the relative rates at which population and food production can increase to illustrate that population will tend to expand perpetually, but that the means of subsistence cannot keep pace. Therefore, to prevent starvation, population is necessarily limited by a variety of checks. The author examines various kinds of checks on population in a range of societies from preindustrial to ancient, savage tribes. The book concludes by positing that the checks on population and their effects are unavoidable and universal.
